SIG P365 AXG Legion: The Ultimate Carry Pistol?

Today, we’re diving deep into the Sig Sauer P365 AXG Legion — a high-end evolution of one of the most successful concealed carry pistols ever made.

Main Themes:
Premium Build — The Best of the Best.
The AXG Legion is what happens when you take the compact P365 platform and load it up with top-tier features:

• Aluminum alloy frame (AXG = Alloy X Grip)

• G10 grips with Legion chevron texture

• Integrated compensator built into the slide

• Optics-ready for micro red dots

• Magwell and extended slide stop

As one reviewer put it: "This might be the best concealed carry pistol ever made... depending on what you value."

Shootability — Small Gun, Big Performance.
The added weight from the aluminum frame, plus the integrated compensator, means the AXG Legion shoots flatter and recovers faster than standard polymer-framed P365s.
It’s remarkably accurate — often rivaling or outperforming full-sized handguns in real-world tests.

Ergonomics — Mostly Excellent.

• Deep undercut trigger guard for a better grip.

• Grippy G10 panels that don’t tear up your hands.

• Weight helps manage recoil, though shooters with larger hands may still feel the grip is a little short.

“If you have smaller hands, this will feel perfect. If you have big paws like mine? It’s a little cramped.”

Concealed Carry — Compact, But Not Tiny.
This isn’t the same micro-sized carry gun as the original P365:

• It’s longer, taller, and heavier than the base P365.

• About the same overall footprint as a Glock 19 — but slimmer.

• The magwell makes reloads smoother but can print more under clothing.
  (Some shooters recommend removing the magwell for better concealment.)

Price — The Elephant in the Room.

• MSRP around $1299 — easily $400–$500 more than a P365 Macro.

• Some argue you could buy a Macro, add a comped slide and aftermarket grips, and come out cheaper and nearly as capable.

Still, if you want top-shelf everything out of the box, the AXG Legion makes a strong case.

Quick Specs Recap:

• Caliber: 9mm

• Capacity: 17+1 (three 17-round mags included)

• Frame: Aluminum Alloy (AXG)

• Slide: Stainless Steel, Integrated Compensator

• Barrel Length: 3.1 inches

• Overall Length: 6.6 inches

• Weight: ~26 oz (unloaded)

• Optics Ready: RMSc footprint

• Trigger: Flat XSeries Trigger (~4-5 lb pull)

• MSRP: ~$1299

• Comes with: Legion gun bag and challenge coin

Potential Drawbacks:

• High price compared to other P365 options.

• Heavier and larger than a true micro-compact.

• Holster compatibility can be tricky due to unique dimensions.

• Grip size may feel small for shooters with large hands.

• Slight velocity loss due to shorter barrel and compensator setup.

Reliability — Rock Solid.
Across the board, users report zero malfunctions with a variety of ammo, including hollow points.
Sig’s quality control is shining bright here.

Bottom Line:
The Sig Sauer P365 AXG Legion is a phenomenal, high-performance carry gun — if you're willing to pay for it.
It’s accurate, soft-shooting, optics-ready, and built to last.
But if price is a factor — or if you're trying to stay extremely concealed — you might want to consider the P365 Macro or even the standard P365 X first.

As one reviewer summed it up:
"Is it the best? Maybe. But it's only worth it if you're ready to pay for every ounce of greatness."
